It sits on the kitchen window but gets packed away each year to make room for the decorations. Having seen how lovely the one on the piano looks in your photo, I won’t be packing it away this year!<br />I would love to sit down at that dining room table, and the kitchen is just wonderful.<br />How lovely to arrive home and find Carson sleeping so peacefully. I had to smile when I wondered if Grandpa Rick was also grabbing forty winks. <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-84369555574196241272017-11-20T03:27:22.454-05:002017-11-20T03:27:22.454-05:00Such wonderful Christmas decorating ideas!

I've been collecting wine corks for many years and hopefully one day I'll find a use for them, like these cheese label skewers. The tumbleweed snowman sounds like a fun idea!<br />Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-66253380789666063182017-11-20T02:11:02.344-05:002017-11-20T02:11:02.344-05:00Loved this post!

All I can say is: I enjoyed each and every photo and had little lightbulbs going off in my head! The joy of blogging...thank you for that.<br /><br />Love to see a content baby! And boy, is he a doll. My granddaughter has her little 'lambie'--a pacifier that has a little fluffy lamb attached to rub her fingers on. She just turned a year old, and my daughter is eliminating it much more, as she is not starting to say any words with lambie in her mouth all the time!! Now, it's just bedtime. But oh, I remember my own little 'blankie', so I have sympathy for all of our babes!! :)<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-27212979938302722152017-11-17T21:47:54.957-05:002017-11-17T21:47:54.957-05:00Last year, I adopted the lights in the china cabin...Last year, I adopted the lights in the china cabinet. This year? Who knows what I'll find in the midst of your suggestions to give a little extra zip to things? I'm such a simple soul, and my decorating matches -- but I do hang little stars from the tumbleweed I brought back from Kansas, and little gold and silver balls from my red twigs from Minnesota. Gosh, I can't remember what they are now -- I knew five minutes ago. Let me go look....

And I like the old-fashioned way of adding some greenery behind pictures, etc. The dining room is just gorgeous! A little tree in the kitchen is a fun idea. Got no space for that. But I to have set of red-heart twinkie lights I keep up in the kitchen--year round! Sweet lil' Carson... *sigh*... Well, in spite of the pacifier, Grandpa did good! ;) That pacifier turn up yet, or was a new one bought?! LOL...
